Three trips in three days: Sixers assign Jonah Bolden back to G-League

Jonah Bolden is racking up the travel expenses this week. Over the span of the last three days, the Philadelphia 76ers have assigned the 22-year-old big man to the team’s G-League affiliate and recalled him on three separate occasions.

After first being assigned Wednesday and then brought back for Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Bolden was again sent to the Delaware Blue Coats on Friday.

The move to have Bolden back with the Blue Coats on days without games makes sense. He could certainly use the extra playing time and although he’s seen limited court time, the second-round pick has flashed upside when receiving minutes with the Sixers.

It’s good to see how much Bolden’s development has taken focus within the organization, and it bodes well for his future.
